Lens, in the heart of the North-Pas de Calais mining region

Situated between Arras, the capital town of the Pas-de-Calais, and Lille, the regional capital, Lens is in the heart of the mining region. The town was famous when coal was intensively mined in the 19th and 20th century. In the sixties, the mines were closed progressively creating an unprecendented crisis. Nowadays, Lens' fame comes principally from its football team, the Racing Club de Lens, which is adulated by its fans. The infrastructure of the Bollaert stadium enabled the town to host the 1998 World Football Cup and in 2007 the Rugby World Cup.
